PAUL HENDERSON Signed TEAM CANADA 72 Summit Series 1972 Tretiak, Cournoyer, Lyapkin Art Print by Daniel Parry

Quote from the Artist ...

 

           "I tried to capture...the celebration, moments after what is arguably one of the greatest moments in Canadian sports history. I wanted to show both the jubilation of the winning - Team Canada, as well as the disappointment the Russian Team must have felt after a very long and hard fought series.

           I decided to also paint the separate vignettes at the bottom of the piece to show Paul Henderson's incredible contribution and accomplishment of scoring the game winning goal in Games six, seven, and eight. I think sometimes people forget that Paul contributed far more than just the Series' winning goal.

           I am very proud to have been commissioned to create this Tribute to both Paul Henderson and Team Canada 72. As with all of the pieces I have been fortunate enough to have worked on with Paul and the Team - this one was especially memorable as it was the first piece we did together. It was an honor to not only work with Paul, but to also have the opportunity to get to know this true Canadian hero and icon."
